Donald a smart man???? I don' t think Trudeau means it sincerly. Trudeau stands for his people.

From Arkansas, USA, i firmly and proudly stand with Canada. And on behalf of all those too simple to see whats been happening and what is happening, i wholeheartedly apologize. Though he didnt have to lie to trump and tell him hes a smart man ? we all know thats not true

Donald Trump and smart doesn't match.

The people that voted for Don the Con is just as stupid as him. Donald is dumb not smart at all. As a teacher, I've seen smarter fifth graders. Many, many smarter fifth grade students.

Donald Trump? A very smart guy? That’s fucking hilarious.

Donald, you are a smart guy. Very diplomatic. Actually, Donald, you are really dumb. Epic

Donald doesn’t care too much about facts , he just talks mostly BS and if he’s corrected will stamp his feet and have a big baby meltdown. The best current example is Ukraine. I will disagree with one of Justin’s points , Donny is not a very smart guy, he just says he is which is the last thing that smart people will say.

One lie. Trump is not smart. Morally he's an idiot There are many mammals with higher values. Parrots are more articulate and honest.

It makes me ashamed that respectable allies have to lie and say Trump is a smart man...

how dare this guy to call trump a smart guy

He called Trump a very smart guy without laughing! I would not play poker with him.

Don the Convicted Psychopath is NOT a smart man. His intelligence level is very low.

Trump is not a smart guy. His full name is Donald Dumb.

Trump POOR HUNGRY DESPERATE PEOPLE ARE EASIER TO CONTROL. Just ask Kim un from N Korea. Trump said Kim is a SMART GUY

How is it Canadas fault Americans love doing drugs? They don’t want to be the 51 state!! And he’s not smart Donald can barely read

Make no mistake. . . Trump is after CANADA. Donnie, we are NOT your Louisiana Purchase. We are NOT your Alaska Acquisition.\n\nTrump thinks he is smart, and regardless of what Trudeau said. . . Smartness is measured by actions.

Calling Trump smart is a big stretch ?

That’s a true leader: reasonable, smart, honest and very articulate. ????????

oh god he's not smart

Trump is smart?\n???

The WSJ said what?? Clearly the U.S. president is anything but smart. Orange man can learn alot from Trudeau.

He has brains and looks. He is blessed. We need a reasonable, cerebral president like Justin. But no! We are stuck with a geriatric, vindictive, felon! The only thing Justin got wrong was calling Donald smart?

Describing Trump as smart, Trudeau is flattering him. There’s nothing remotely smart about Trump. He’s by far the stupidest, most ignorant and deranged president the US has ever elected. He’s crooked, corrupt and pathologically dishonest.

The Smart Americans are with you Canada and all Allies. trump & musk are a CANCERS that needs to be removed immediately , ****. Help US! ****

Trump is NOT a very smart guy, he's a clown, a conman, a criminal

CORRECTION PRIME MINISTER, GREAT SPEACH, BUT ONE ERROR. TRUMP IS NOT SMART. HE'S A HORSES ASS

Trump smart... come on dude. The guy's a walking sub-Forrest Gump IQ who's lucky breathing doesn't require a functioning intellect.

The only thing Trudeau got wrong on his speech was to say that Trump is a smart man. Any attempted appeasement of Trump is simply not worth it.

PM Trudeau being polite by say DJT, Sr is smart know he and other world leaders thinking and knowing DJT, Sr been lost his GOTDAMN mind ?

Great speech but I take one exception, tRump is not a very smart guy!

I disagree with Trudeau on one point. Trump is NOT a very smart man.

a very smart donald

Donald is a smart man? Are you crazy?

IT'S NOT THE UNITED STATES BABOSO. IT'S TRUMP, VANCE AND MUSK! TRUMP IS NOT A SMART MAN! IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM AND NOT EVEN HIS FOLLOWERS. IT'S JUST HIM. KISS THE RING! I'M TRYING TO SAVE UP FOR MY RETIREMENT. IT WILL ALL BE GONE, GONE. MY NEST EGG GONE.! MAGA, MAKE AMERICA GARBAGE AGAIN!

Well, Trudeau is wrong about a couple of things: first, Fentanyl for medical use is a good medication (e.g. in emergency rooms). and second, Donald Trump is NOT A SMART guy. He is an idiot. Otherwise Trudeau is spot on. Can the US have him and get rid of Tronald Dump?

Trump is NOT a smart man. Bag of hammers have more intellgience and use than Diaper Don!

sorry Mr. Trudeau but Trump IS NOT SMART‼️

Trudeau was wrong. Trump is stupid, not smart.

Smart men do smart things. Idiots do dam things. Trudeau you are sugarcoating.

We stand with Canada.\nTraitorRump values only dictators as friends. He needs a big dinner of skunk stew. BTW, Rump is NOT a smart guy.

Wow, he just called Trump a very smart man. Canadians really are nice!

Sorry he is not smart it all, he is the opposite

All of that and not a teleprompter in sight, Trudeau is one smart cookie.

I’m sorry but calling Trump smart is the dumbest thing that was said in that speech. Trump is anything but smart, he’s the dumbest President the states have ever had.

A true statesman! How he was able to say that Trump is a smart man without breaking into hysterical laughter is pure masterclass!!! Give the man an Oscar!!!

I agree 99,9% with everything Prime Minister Trudeau said. We all know what is that 0,1% I don't agree with... And that's of course that Justin said that Trump is smart... We all know he's dumb as a post, ignorant and proud of it.. The West (which of course includes South Korea, Japan, Australia, etc) has rejected MAGA and Trump.. He America, call u s back when the Orange Buffoon not around anymore.

ha ha, clever of Trudeau to butter up trump by lying and saying he's smart. you know that's the only takeaway trump heard in this whole speech. Fitting too, since all he understands is lying.

The US has already tried the Tariff experiment.....\nTariffs in 30's by the US contributed to the great depression \nSmoot–Hawley Tariff Act. The Tariff Act of 1930 (codified at 19 U.S.C. ch. 4), commonly known as the Smoot–Hawley Tariff or Hawley–Smoot Tariff, was a law that implemented protectionist trade policies in the United States\nAnd obviously that didn't work, quite the opposite!\nDeliberate Economic Sabotage?\nSo much for Trump saying historically the American economy did the best under tariff policies\nTo make smart decisions you should also pay regard to history

One thing I disagree with the Prime Minister with, trump is NOT A SMART MAN!

Very smart Canada !! Just close border of Canada and USArussia , let’s USArussia have their way , good job Canada ???????
